The Wayback Machine: '80s Protest Songs

The '80s were times of political change. Reaganomics, The Apartheid, the Cold War. Lots of good stuff.

These are the greatest '80s protest songs?!

Somehow, there was something lost in translation. I don't think anyone really gets this from "Rock the Casbah" from the great band, The Clash:

Or this about "Sowing the Seeds of Love" from Tears for Fears:

This is basically a protest against political corruption.

WTF?!

I have great fondness for the '80s, since all of my older brothers and sisters were really into all of the music and movies and shared that with me. But for once, I might have to agree with TD, who says, frequently, "Man, the '80s sucked hard."
